| Obverse description | Armored knight standing facing, head turned slightly to the right, holding a sword upright in the right hand and resting the left hand upon a shield bearing the rampant lion of Utrecht. The figure stands on a stippled ground line within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding Latin legend reads: MO · ARG · PRO : CONFOE · BELG · TRA, identifying this as a silver coin of the Confederate Belgian province of Utrecht. The hammered planchet exhibits the characteristic irregular outline typical of early seventeenth-century Dutch provincial coinage. |

| Reverse description | A rampant lion facing left, with raised forepaws and an elaborately curled tail, displayed prominently in the central field. The lion bears upon its breast a small escutcheon charged with the double-headed Imperial eagle. The surrounding Latin legend, interrupted by the date 1618, reads: · CONFIDENS · DNO · NON · MOVETVR · (He who trusts in the Lord shall not be moved), a Protestant-inspired motto widely used on Dutch provincial coinage of the period. The entire design is set within a beaded border on an irregular hammered flan. A Lascaris countermark, applied by the Order of St. John, is present and attests to the coin's revaluation and authorised circulation within Maltese domains. |
